This choice: She calls up her boyfriend for a ride • Go Back...Chapter #9She calls up her boyfriend for a ride by: Saracen1187   After hastily grabbing the polo shirt she had worn to work yesterday, Rebekh retrieved her mobile phone and instantly scrolled down the list of contacts until she came to her boyfriend's number. She had ignored the 'Two missed calls' messages she had received from Wilko, since she knew that would have been Liz or one of her managers trying to contact her. "Sebastian!?" Rebekah said, as her boyfriend picked up, sounding as chipper as usual.
"Hey babe, how are you?" Sebastian answered in his heavy Spanish accent.
"Listen, I need you to drive me to work, I'm already late. I overslept." Rebekah began to explain her morning so far. She left out everything about the 'Entity' of course. "I'd ask my mum to take me but she went out shopping."
"Hey, don't worry babe, I'll be there in a few minutes to take you to work okay." Sebastian reassured his girlfriend.
"Oh thanks hun, you're a life-saver. I'm gonna get dressed and do my hair before you arrive." Rebekah sighed in relief, before hanging up. She then opened one of her drawers and pulled out a clean pair of her black slacks. As she put on her work clothes and fixed her hair, Rebekah kept thinking about the Entity and the Orb that hd struck her. It all seemed so... weird. Yet she knew it had happened, she was now an apprentice to a so-called "Trait Thief", which was apparently now inside her. She tried to wrap her head around all what had happened. But it was difficult to believe she was 'normal' anymore
**********
The doorbell rang and Rebekah answered it while stuffing a piece of toast into her mouth. Seeing her boyfriend standing there smiling was a relief to Rebekah after the morning she had experienced. "Hey!" She greeted him with a kiss on the cheek, smiling also.
"You look a little stressed. Everything okay?" Sebastian asked.
"Hm hm, fine." Rebekah nodded.
You picked a good specimen Rebekah. Rebekah heard her own (the Entity's) ghostly voice in her head as she stared at her boyfriend and then invited him in. Rebekah ignored the voice. How about a little fun? To practise your powers? The voice continued, chuckling in her head.
"Don't you dare!" Rebekah grumbled under her breath.
"What was that babe?" Sebastian turned, having heard Rebekah say something.
"Oh, nothing. Just worried about getting into trouble at work." She sighed, nervously smiling this time.
Sebastian jingled his car keys at her. "Then let's not waste time getting you there." He said. "And if you still want to book an appointment to get your nails done, it's my treat. I can drop you off at one of the salons in town first if you like babe?"
"Huh, maybe, yeah." Rebekah just nodded, finishing her quick breakfast. Then she locked the house up and she and Sebastian went out to his car. Rebekah knew she'd no doubt get in trouble at work for being so late. Her long track record of not being summoned to Emma and Elizabeth's office was in danger. But for some strange reason, (the Entity), it didn't seem to worry her as much as it might have done another time.
